Chapter 171
After he went upstairs, Jian Yue stepped forward. “How did his hand get injured?”
Xu Si asked No.1 to arrange a car to send Jian Yue back, and said, “I was on a business trip a few days ago and was not around. Ning Ning was hungry for a long time and was not in a good mood.”
Jian Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. He did not believe in what Xu Si said. Vampires would not refuse anyone’s blood when they were hungry, how could Xi Ning starve himself.
But when talking about the matter about Xi Ning drinking blood, Jian Yue remembered that Xi Ning did not drink anything when he was at the shop. He worried that Xi Ning would be hungry and even asked Wen Xue to give him some dog blood, but he would not drink it.
Jian Yue hesitated. “Xiao Ning said that before he went to my place, he had bitten a person. That person…… is it you?”
Xu Si nodded and said, “It was me. What’s the matter?”
Jian Yue was speechless. It turned out that Xu Si had known Xi Ning’s identity in the beginning, and Xi Ning had lied about this matter.
He came secretly today. Although he had already seen Xi Ning, he was in good condition except for a hand injury, the relationship between him and Xu Si…… Jian Yue couldn’t help but say, “Vampires have different life spans compared to human beings, you……”
Xu Si interrupted him. “I really like Xi Ning. In what position did you put yourself in to say this to me?”
It’s not that he didn’t think that Jian Yue might like Xi Ning, but Jian Yue’s attitude was more like treating Xi Ning as a junior.
Xu Si’s eyes peered at Jian Yue. Jian Yue realized that he was talking a bit too much. The car to take him back was also waiting outside. He said goodbye to Xu Si. “After seeing Xiao Ning I am a lot more relieved, anyway, thank you.”
He avoided answering again. Xu Si was uninterested and asked No.1 to send Jian Yue out, and he turned to go upstairs alone.
–
In the middle of the night, Xi Ning received a new text message from Jian Yue. The text message was written: “You will always be my clan. You can come to me whenever you face any problem in the future.”
Xi Ning read the text message several times and finally replied, “Okay, thank you.”
“Did the protagonist treat everyone like this as well?” After all, Xi Ning felt that he and Xu Si were more familiar with each other. “Or is it because of my identity as a vampire?”
The system explained, “This is the protagonist’s character, and he has seen very few vampires so far, so it is normal for him to have a sense of responsibility towards his fellow clan members.”
Anyway, Xi Ning still felt warmth in his heart, thinking about going to Jian Yue’s shop again if he had a chance.
He opened the door and wanted to take a walk outside, but found that the light was still on in Xu Si’s bedroom.
It was already 3 a.m. Xi Ning knocked gently on the door in doubt, but no one responded.
He turned the doorknob and found that Xu Si was asleep on the bed, but his clothes had not been changed.
Xu Si just came back from the business trip and he even went to the company before he had a good rest. He wanted to take a short break for a while before continuing to do his work, but he accidentally fell asleep.
He’s not covered in his blanket either. Xi Ning stepped forward and carefully helped him take off his coat, then lifted the blanket to cover him.
Xu Si was a light sleeper. Usually a slight movement may wake him up. He opened his eyes and was still in a half-dream and half-awake condition, and saw Xi Ning.
He seemed to be still in a dream. He grabbed Xi Ning’s wrist and pulled him over, then kissed Xi Ning’s lips and muttered in a low voice, “Ning Ning……”
Xi Ning was shocked. He broke free of Xu Si’s arm and covered his mouth.
Xu Si was completely awakened by his move. He pinched his eyebrows and looked up, only to see Xi Ning escaping from the bedroom.
When he tried to recall what happened just now. He seemed to have kissed Xi Ning? But he just happened to dream of something, and he couldn’t tell whether it was real or not.
Xu Si was about to change his clothes to clean himself before going back to sleep, Xi Ning returned back to his room.
“You…… do you……” Xi Ning held back his words for a long time before saying, “Do you like me?”
Xu Si looked slightly startled, and then chuckled lightly. “You just found out?”
He thought that his attitude was already obvious enough. Is Xi Ning really unaware of this, or is he always avoiding it before and doesn’t want to believe it?
Xi Ning asked again, “When did it happen……”
“It was love at first sight.”
Xu Si still wanted to speak, but Xi Ning turned around and ran away, this time without even closing the door.
